The problem with Miyuki's portrayal in the Anime is her lack in depth.......The reason Miyuki is popular character for the Manga and Light Novel readers is that they could see Miyuki's complexity as the female lead....The anime failed to show the complexity of Miyuki's character......

Sorry, the anime is completely crude and primitive in this aspect, overemphasizing all the wrong things (those which were already overemphasized in the novel to begin with, compounding the problem). Horrible. |

I have just read Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei - Yokohama Souranhen. Nooooooooooo... WTF with the artist... it's all wrong. IT'S HORRIBLE THE ART!!!
For making each arc you go and ask other artist. From the quality of this one I guess it was pretty cheap.

Just read the Reminiscence arc manga adaptation up to Chapter 8. I think that the serious trust issues Miyuki had about Tatsuya in the Reminiscence arc still exist under all those profuse Onii-Samas and Bro-con teasing. And Volume 13 and 14 (especially in Chapter 1 of volume 14, when Miyuki wonders how much control she really has over Tatsuya) simply demonstrates that the trust issue still exist on several levels, and manifest themselves in slightly different ways.
Another interesting thought about the Reminiscence arc - I think that Miyuki's relation with Tatsuya is just another one of those deliberate artificial emotional manipulations that Miyuki inflicts on herself. Miyuki wears many masks, and the monologues come closest to who Miyuki is under all those mask, many of which she forces herself to "sincerely" believe. The way I see it, after Reminiscence, Miyuki saw Tatsuya not as a disposable shield, but a very, very dangerous flaming sword technically in her hands, but with a will of his own. For the sake of controlling that sword, Miyuki convinces her ownself to take on the earnest mask of the "devoted sister", and forces herself to believe in the truth of that mask, as Honami trained Miyuki to do. Setting this with Volume 14, I suspect Miyuki still doesn't fully realize that Tatsuya will sub-ordinate himself to Miyuki unconditionally, even without the play of siblinghood taken to warped extreme; that Miyuki thinks is the best way she can keep Tatsuya's loyalties, after a childhood of inadvertently treating Tatsuya as disposable wallpaper. Miyuki attributed her ability to rein Tatsuya back to her tears - I don't think she quite realized that it was the phrasing of her preference, into a near command (Onii-Sama's only concern is me... etc) that brought Tatsuya to heel. Not Miyuki's performance of the crying imouto. From Tatsuya's perspective, I suspect that Tatsuya does not want freedom from Miyuki, and does not believe that the world would accept Tatsuya being free, because of what Tatsuya could potentially do with that said freedom. However, with his ties to FLT, the Military, to Miyuki and the Yotsubas, he's constructed things such that he has room for maneuver, and has limited what his erstwise masters can order him to do by putting himself under multiple masters, the one person with the sole over-riding veto over his other masters being none other than Miyuki herself. I suspect Miyuki has two contradictory desires - to treat Tatsuya as an equal, yet control that dangerous sword which she holds the safeties on. |

At the end of LN8 and onward, the relationship between Miyuki and Tatsuya is incomparably different. By then, Miyuki's trust in Tatsuya's abilities and determination to protect her is near-absolute. I also feel that your description of Miyuki's worries at the begin of LN14 as "control" is a bit off. Miyuki doesn't seek to "control" Tatsuya. She seeks to protect him when he acts against his interests. Quote:

This is no matter of worry "will he follow my orders if I give them", she simply feels that she has no standing to give orders to him in the first place. And the only one she actually vetoed Tatsuya in LN13 was not out of worry for her own safety, but for HIS. She merely reminded him that protecting her was his sole task not to make sure that nothing bad happened to _herself_, but to stop Tatsuya from jumping into a dangerous confrontation unnecessarily, while he was strained and overworked. It was for _his_ sake. To sum up how I see it: Miyuki sees Tatsuya not as her equal, but as someone she looks up to. She does not fear him or try to "control" him, she only occasionally tries to influence him when she feels that he is about to do something foolish and dangerous. Instead, she tries to _free_ him from his chains. |
